To help horse breeders make informed decisions, AQHA offers a five-panel genetic test for HYPP, PSSM, MH, GBED and HERDA.

As a way to help breeders make good decisions regarding their horse breeding program, AQHA offers a five-panel test to determine if an American Quarter Horse is a carrier or has any of five genetic diseases.

The effects of these equine diseases are wide-ranging, from mild and manageable to severe and terminal. Passing these diseases on to successive generations often causes unnecessary suffering and also leads to financial losses for horse breeders.
